Frequently Asked Questions

What are the oscilloscopes used for?

Oscilloscopes are electronic test instruments with a wide range of applications in different industries including aerospace, engineering, automotive, telecommunications, medicine, and the sciences. By recording the change of a signal over a period of time and displaying the voltage graphically as a waveform, oscilloscopes allow the user to analyse a signal's time-based characteristics (frequency, period, rise time, etc.) and voltage-based characteristics (amplitude, maximum and minimum voltages, etc.). This piece of test equipment is frequently used in labs and in the field for many different purposes such as troubleshooting, validation, and manufacturing test.

How can I use an oscilloscope to measure frequency?

If you are using a modern digital oscilloscope, the instrument will automatically calculate frequency for you as long as it has the bandwidth to reliably do so.

On an analogue scope you can measure frequency by first measuring time using the horizontal scale on the display and counting the number of horizontal divisions in one wave. Then, calculate the period of the signal by multiplying the number of horizontal divisions by the time/division. Finally, calculate frequency by dividing 1 by the period. This will allow you to accurately determine the frequency of the waveform.

Why choose a used oscilloscope?

Electrical testing equipment can be expensive; it is hard to get the best new equipment on a tight budget. Fortunately, a more cost-effective option is the purchase of a used oscilloscope. We carefully select and test each pre-owned scope in a rigorous certification process to ensure that our used oscilloscopes are just as accurate and effective as brand-new ones so you can enjoy top-quality equipment at a low price.

Where can I buy a used oscilloscope?

We offer a range of flexible options giving you access to the equipment you need at an affordable price. Top-of-the-range digital oscilloscopes are expensive, so if you are working with a tighter budget you might choose to buy a used oscilloscope. We also offer a rent-to-buy option, hire purchase, or operational leases to give you the financial flexibility you need.

Which is the best oscilloscope to buy?

This depends entirely on your needs and budget. However, if you are looking for a reliable and high-quality oscilloscope, we recommend opting for one by Keysight Technologies, Rhode & Schwarz, or Tektronix. While analogue oscilloscopes can be good enough for hobbyists, the majority of our offerings are digital oscilloscopes which provide more accuracy and precision.

When choosing an oscilloscope, you will need to consider three things: bandwidth, sampling rate, and number of channels.

  1. Bandwidth: the maximum level of frequency the device can measure. Depending on the bandwidth of the signal you want to measure, you will need a scope with a suitable bandwidth capacity in MHz or GHz. 
  2. Sampling rate: the number of samples of a signal generated per second. A higher real-time sampling rate means greater accuracy from your device
  3. Number of channels: while traditional oscilloscopes feature two channels, the newer digital oscilloscopes often have more than this.

What is a digital oscilloscope?

Digital oscilloscopes are an advanced and highly accurate type of oscilloscope. These are more advanced than analogue scopes, which use an electron beam to directly map the input voltage to the display as a waveform. To find the values for amplitude, frequency, and more, analogue oscilloscopes require you to do the calculations yourself based on the waveform.

In contrast to their analogue counterparts, digital oscilloscopes (sometimes called digital storage oscilloscopes, digital sampling oscilloscopes, or DSOs) can do these calculations for you. They use an analogue-to-digital converter to turn the analogue signal into a digital signal and instantly make measurements that can be easily stored in the scope’s digital memory or uploaded to a computer.

About Oscilloscope Test Equipment

Oscilloscopes provide a precise view of the behaviour of a circuit by graphing an electrical signal as a waveform. This makes your oscilloscope one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on the lab bench. Critical to testing and verification during design, research and development, and product verification, oscilloscopes are essential to getting products to market quickly.

Types of Oscilloscope Test Equipment

Our wide range of oscilloscopes is carefully selected to offer you the best options from leading manufacturers, including Keysight, Rhode & Schwarz and Tektronix including digital storage oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-signal oscilloscopes.

Digital Oscilloscopes

Digital oscilloscopes – or Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSOs) as they are usually known – have become the dominant option for every major application. They offer excellent accuracy and flexibility with even entry-level options including analytic functions like FFT and Bode Plots. Unlike their analogue counterparts, digital scopes take measurements and do all the calculations for you.

Logic Analysers

Logical analysers store and analyse digital signals from multiple sources so that they can be compared. 

Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes or MSOs combine the function of a digital storage oscilloscope and a logic analyser in a single instrument. This makes it quicker and easier to investigate circuits.

Sampling Oscilloscopes

Perfect for measuring high-speed signals, sampling oscilloscopes are a type of advanced digital oscilloscope. These collect multiple samples of a signal to generate a waveform.

Oscilloscope Probes

Oscilloscope probes connect the scope's input to the test point.

Current Probes

Current probes can be used with your oscilloscope to measure current rather than voltage.
